************ THE LAST COWBOY SONG ************

performed by Waylon Jennings

     Kris Kristofferson

     Johnny Cash

             Willie Nelson

Chorus (all together):

           D

This is the last cowboy song

                                    G

The end of a hundred year waltz

              A

The voices sound sad as they're singing along

                                     D

Another piece of America is lost

Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)

            D

He rides the feed lots,works in a market

                                       A

On weekend selling tobacco and beer

He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences

                                                        D

But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)

           D

He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark

                                                 A

And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas

                                                    D

And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down

Chorus.

Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)

           D

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas

                                      A

And Louis Lamour told us his tale

Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him

                                                   D

And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.

           D

The old chisom trail is covered in concrete

                                               G

They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs

           A

They roll by his graveside and don't even notice

                                               D

Like living and dieing was all he ever did

Chorus.
